Where to start? Well, my sister and I wanted to get the gift of music for my mom for Mother's Day with a piano tuning. Not living in AZ, we needed to trust local reviews of piano tuners. We found Chris at Tri-State Piano to be the most recommended and available, so we scheduled a tuning. My mom's piano was built somewhere around 1930 and the last time it had been tuned was in 2006. Needless to say, it sounded pretty bad. Chris arrived, and he couldn't be more professional and friendly. He was very thorough explaining what he was going to do and made sure to keep us updated as things were progressing if there would need to be further services performed. Not only were his explanations thorough, but so was his work. He did a deep cleaning inside, removing dust, debris and cleaning each and every key as well as the strings. My sister and I were so pleased with his hard work and dedication to his craft. He plays the piano beautifully as well, and it was heart-warming to hear my mom play it again with confidence. If you are on the fence about whom to hire for your piano tuning (and more), choose Chris. You will not be disappointed. We were overjoyed with the results and so was our mom. Superb job, Chris!!!

Five stars for Tri-State Piano and especially for Christopher! He’s been absolutely fantastic with my 8-year-old son—patient, encouraging, and truly gifted as a teacher. What I really appreciate is how he meets my son where he’s at, while still challenging him to push a little harder and grow each week. Christopher strikes the perfect balance between being thorough and systematic while still keeping things fun and engaging. My son looks forward to every lesson, which says it all. Can’t say enough good things about his teaching style—we feel really lucky to have found him.

I would give Christopher ten stars if I could!!!!! He was a tremendous blessing in helping to repair a baby grand piano. His knowledge was extensive and the work he performed was done professionally and with care. I would highly recommend Tri-State Piano for any tuning or repairs you need. And he also teaches piano lessons. I will be referring Christopher to anyone I know. I cannot thank him enough!!!!
